Following Grix press conference about potentially some injuries it will be an interesting squad announcement. He has basically nailed down that Lane will be playing in a different role too - potentially Centre, so does that mean Carlos is injured, or one of the wingers, and Briscoe will go back to the wing?

Surley if Carlos is injured Briscoe and Chamberlain will play centre, he could potentially play 9 if Balmforth or Smith have taken a knock, hopefully he'll stay in the backrow where he's been one of our stronger players this season.

I have a feeling that Balmforth will be dropped

Be interesting to see who's left out which is a rarity if Ashworth is fit out of the 21, can see Martin, Gardiner and Jebson left out /rested but reckon other one will be Ruan or Fash/Sao if not fully fit.

Re: London calling : Thu Aug 15, 2024 11:38 am  

If we can get all 3 of Sao, Ashworth and Ese'ese in the team again then that is huge for us.
Being stuck in our own half, unable to make any headway, has made for grim viewing lately so a chance to get on the front foot for a change will be welcome.

Dreading it, think they’ll have too much for us. We lack any idea.

Re: London calling : Thu Aug 15, 2024 12:17 pm  

With that squad if all the main players play we should win comfy. How many London players would get into our 17.

We play with enthusiasm and use our brains we win.

Re: London calling : Thu Aug 15, 2024 12:31 pm  

Forwards are probably the best we've had all season, the spine however is so weak, do worry where the points would come from, London could well edge it.

Re: London calling : Thu Aug 15, 2024 12:43 pm  

They've got a few threats in their spine with Rourke, Leyland and Campagnolo, our pack should get on top but they're a hardworking unit. Least Meadows isn't playing, I've only seen him play well against us.

If everyone's good to play I'd go something like:

Moy
Briscoe
Carlos
Chamberlain
Martin/Barron
Walker
Charles
Ese Ese
Smith
Sao
Cartwright
Lane
Aydin

Ashworth
Eseh
Balmforth
Ruan/Fash

Ese'Ese will want a big game after the assault on his name in the last game

The whole team should, should want to right the wrongs on that awful performance
